Trailer Rush: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The trailer for Heath Ledger's last film has hit the internet. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is the latest from director Terry Gilliam, who is most well-known for his sci-fi classic Brazil. Gilliam's latest is one that the trailer can describe far better than I can. Take a look:

The film looks trippy as anything, but then again I didn't expect anything different from Gilliam. This was the movie being filmed when Heath Ledger died, he completed half of the filming for the movie and in order to finish out the movie Gilliam rewrote the script to where Ledger's character was a shapeshifter, thus allowing Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrel to all step in and finish Ledger's final performance in his honor.

I really want to see this movie, not only does it look interesting, but it is also Ledger's final screen performance. Definitely one worth a look when it hits theaters in limited release Christmas Day.
